From our Director

I was accepted by the University of Minnesota – Duluth for the Master of Arts arrived the US 1989. It the mid-1990's when
Paul Soldner was invited for a lecture and workshops in San Jose State University. I was writing a book, American Ceramic
Artists Today (Chinese language only, published in Beijing 1998), at the time. What I learned was that Soldner is not only
considered the “father of western Raku firing," but also the inventor of the electrical kiln. Using certain elements from
toasters, he made the first electrical kiln in the world. Later on, Soldner established a company called Soldner Pottery
Equipment and began to provide clay mixers and pottery wheels to the market. Soldner has become my model in the ceramic
field since then.

After I received my MFA from San Jose State University in 1999, I started my own small business – a ceramic classroom called
Clay Ground in Silicon Valley, California. Through my teaching experiences, I was able to invent several ceramic tools and
applied patents in China. Thus, I decided to start a ceramic tool business. Personally, I consider myself to be a clay artist,
educator, and writer. I have been growing together with both the ceramic communities of USA and that of China, and I have
frequently contributed my efforts to the two-way traffic of international ceramic exchange. If you would like to know anything
about Chinese ceramics, please feel free to send e-mails to me.

Our clay tool business was established in 1999 and we have been building up our relationships beyond the business as well. All
of my co-workers and I would like to express our appreciation to everyone who has been or will be supporting our business.
